Colenimo Autumn/Winter 2012-13

Aya Nakagawa, designer of Colenimo, continuously comes up with innovative and fresh new concepts for her collections. Nakagawa's Autumn/Winter 2012-13 is called Idyll. The collection is inspired by tradition country attire with a fanciful twist. Idyll is a cohesive integration of sturdy utilitarian outerwear, luxurious knitwear, and elegant evening pieces. Nakagawa has a talent for taking traditional looking garments, and combining them with unique fabrications to create modern shapes. There variety of ensembles in this collection beautifully portrays what I imagine a fashion-forward country lady would wear.
